The one talent she wants to face off with during the Rumble match the most:
"Honestly, if it comes down to the last two, I would love to face off with Charlotte Flair. I feel as though from the beginning and I haven't come to a blow off terms yet. I came into the main roster with Charlotte and I was very naive, hoping and praying that she would show me the ropes, but that was totally the opposite. Me being her protege, doing all of her dirty work, and then I was dropped like a bad habit. I would absolutely love to share the ring with her and show her that within the years that I've been here and she left my side I have not only grew as a person but have grown as an in-ring competitor and I could be just as superior as she is and show her that I'm not gonna take no for an answer and I can stand strong with the best. "
The WWE 24/7 Championship Run:
" It is honestly everything to me. When I won that 24/7 Champion, it just, it defined me as a person because I love to manifesting, I love self-affirmation. Before I had this title, even when I was a young girl in Gymnastics for 18 years, I would tell myself and look at myself in the mirror, "I am a champion, I am a champion, I am a champion". I would constantly saying that and I felt like in my WWE career, I was always on the edge, never put my toes in the water and when I captured that 24/7 Title it was like my toes were in the water is like oh my God, now I can make a huge splash, and not only is it a 24/7 Title that I get to represent, I am a woman and I want to elevate this title and show that anything a woman puts her mind to is possible. There was an opportunity out there and I capitalized on it. I want every single little girl out there to tell themselves that they are a champion. Every single woman out there that feels like they're on the edge and they wanna make a change, it's very possible to make a change. All you have to do is put your foot out there an capitalize on the opportunity and I hold the title with pride and I hope to hold this title for many many more months, years, and be the longest reigning 24/7 Champion, hopefully with the title, the 24/7 Champion by my side, maybe grabbing another you know title if it's the Women's Tag Team titles or the Raw or Smackdown title as well, I would absolutely love it, so this title is a great starting position for me and, you know, I hope to be the best 24/7 Champion I can and to elevate this title to mean that we're all champions every single day 24/7."
Whether the Championship will be on the line during the Rumble Match:
"I remember last year in the Royal Rumble match, Alicia Fox and R-Truth, the title was on the line there as well. I'm prepared for anything at any given time. I definitely want to be the last woman standing. I live my life as a champion, I train for that. I not only represent the title for myself but for every person in the WWE Universe, we all are champions every single day, from the moment we wake up to the moment we put our head down at night, we've accomplished so much within those 24 hours that we all truly are champions. So I definitely want to hold that title as long as I possibly can and be the last woman standing in that ring and go after the Raw or Smackdown Women's Champion."
Which Championship She'd Go For If She Wins the Rumble:
"Oooh! This is good! Good question! I've grown with every single one of these women. Becky Lynch, I started my career with Becky and I've seen her come from not knowing who she was, what she was doing down in NXT to now being Becky Lynch, the GOAT, the woman and she - the man, but she is an amazing woman, a role model to so many people, she's a mother, it's amazing to see, and I feel like I said before, I thrive under pressure and she would push me to my limits and I can show her, we grew together and I can hang just as well with you, I can go toe-to-toe with you.
Charlotte Flair, you know, I already said what I had to say about Charlotte, I would love to go against her showing that hey - you to try to belittle me, tried to push me out the door type thing but I never quit, I never gave up, I can stand toe to toe with you and go for the Smackdown Women's Title and Mandy Rose, that's personal.
I love Mandy [Rose] to death. I've developed such a great relationship over the time with her when she was down in Tough Enough, the first time I ever saw Mandy I said, oh she has the 'it' factor, she has WWE written all over her. She was super beautiful, athletic, great personality, her and I clicked. I was actually one of the trainers down for Tough Enough so I got to know her on a personal level. I actually had an apartment with a spare room and she stored some of her clothes there, so we got to know each other on a personal basis and then I teamed up with her for some time and it was like, we were two peas in a pod. We shared so many similarities as far as appearance but also in-ring ability and her going down to NXT was a shock to me, but also I love to see where she took that NXT 2.0 brand and became Women's Champion, so I would absolutely love to show her that hey I can do this too, but seeing her being able to elevate the NXT Title, me holding the 24/7 Title, what better yet to go face-to-face and may the best woman win."
